Coastal running at its best. Join in the fun for the inaugural Kilcunda Half Marathon and GB Coastal Run. Enjoy fantastic cliff top running only 1 hour from Melbourne.
Set against a stunning coastal setting, the Kilcunda Half Marathon and George Bass Coastal Run (16km) follow an out and back course starting and finishing in Kilcunda, a small coastal community 10 minutes from Wonthaggi.
The run follows bike paths, green rolling hills on cut grass path!! and beaches to the Punchbowl road turnaround point and then returns to Kilcunda.

A great day out for the family with beaches, historic mines and great meals at the Kilcunda Pub and General Store. Run starts at 10am.

Looks awesome!  Is there a course map anywhere?

Looks like a great event, in my neighbourhood, unfortunately it's the same day as round #3 of the Salomon Trail Series

[Pink Lady]

I agree - it looks like an excellent event.
Unfortunately it is also on the same weekend as the Shepparton mara and half

[jenjams]

Yeah a busy weekend for running.  Luckily I havnt chosen which event I am going to do yet!  But this run is looking very possible now.  I conquered Macedon so surely I can keep on going!

Now thats a good query.
I have a course profile which I downloaded from my Garmin 910. I  will try - try being  the operative word, to upload it - not highly technically savvy.
Failing that you could check out Parks Victoria and look  up George Bass Coastal Walk   - I   shall also endeavor to get their strip map.

I have run this course before and consider it one the most spectacular runs I have done. The views from the clifftops along the George Bass Coastal Walk are stunning. Parks Victoria have a map of the walk.

This does look cool, unfortunately I have already booked into the Silvan Race of the Salomon Trail Series.....  I spent many a family holiday at the Caravan Park there as a youngster!!!  So with Accommodation, don't forget that the caravan park has cabins etc....  I'm guess very close proximity to the start of the run and most importantly... walking distance to the pub

Back from another stunning run along the cliff tops in the rain - huge waves crashing onto the rocks below - exhilerating.

Accomodation is available at the Motel and also the Kilcunda Oceanview Holiday Retreat (Caraven, cabins, camping)- 5678 7260 - approximately 100m from the start line and opposite the Kilcunda Pub - they are even going to offer a prize for the event.

Sadly, you can add Warrnambool half marathon to the growing list of events on the same day.

sending in today

[Aidan1983]

I emailed the race director about this
Run has been cancelled due to low numbers

[lyricnz]

That's because they're a latecomer, and scheduled it on the same day as so many other events. Unfortunate and Stupid.

[crashtest]

What a bummer...I was going to enter today also as a late entry due to an injury but got the all clear to run!
